Misia Hoshizora no Live VIII: Moon Journey (MISIA 星空のライヴVIII MOON JOURNEY) was a concert tour by Japanese singer Misia and the eighth installment of the Hoshizora Live concert series.[1] The tour began on April 11, 2015 at Aichi Prefectural Art Theater in Nagoya, Aichi and concluded on October 20, 2015 at Festival Hall in Osaka, Osaka, comprising 37 shows.[2]

Background[edit]

On December 22, 2014, Misia announced she would embark on the eighth Hoshizora Live tour with a list of 33 dates in 18 different cities.[3] The tour subtitle Moon Journey was revealed on January 16, 2015.[4] Ticket sales opened to the general public on March 8, 2015.[5] With a purchase of both the double A-side CD single "Shiroi Kisetsu" / "Sakura Hitohira" and the video album Sekai Isan Gekijō Misia Candle Night at Okinawa, fans were offered a chance to win two backstage passes to one of Misia's shows.[6] Two additional dates for July 2015 were announced on March 16, 2015. On June 17, 2015, it was announced that Michiko Shimizu would appear as a special guest at the two dates in Tokyo.[7][8]

On July 24, 2015, Misia announced through her official website and social media the cancellation of the July 25, 2015 Sunport Hall Takamatsu show due to illness.[9] On July 27, 2015, the cancelled date was rescheduled for October 17, 2015, at the same venue.[10] Two additional dates, one at Naruto Bunka Kaikan in Naruto, Tokushima,[11] and another at Festival Hall in Osaka, Osaka[12] were announced.
